Just Great

an inverse poem about perspective

By Kiersten WeldonPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

Everything is just great

Don't try to convince me that

Every waking moment is a struggle and

Things won't ever get better

There is so much to be grateful for

Even if

I go days without sunlight

There is always a rainbow after a storm

And it's not true that

I will never get better

Because

If I just try harder

I will definitely cheer up

And don't you tell me that

I don't stand a chance

I have so much to live for

I have been told that

"It's all in my head" and

"This too shall pass" and

You will never hear me say

I am not okay
